Render output to file
render_outputRender a TouchDesigner TOP to a full-resolution image file (PNG, JPG, EXR, or TIFF) at a given absolute path. Intended for exporting finished frames.
Instructions
Save a TOP to an image file at its native, full resolution (PNG/JPG/EXR/TIFF by extension) — for exporting a finished frame, unlike get_preview which only transfers a small inline thumbnail. The file is written by TouchDesigner on the TD machine; pass an absolute path.
